New Rigged Ship

Miss Finlay’s Delight

Yes I’ve heard it in the Northeast before, but I have a feeling that it might be Scottish originally, maybe Shetland like the reel "Da New Rigged Ship", and the Ador jig usu. called "Da Full Rigged Ship" - both lovely tunes. This particular tune I’ve heard played in D and G, and it is aka "Miss Finlay’s Delight".

Re: The New Rigged Ship

The New Rigged Ship is also a 48 Bar Scottish Country Dance. It’s quite old and not often seen on a program as it is 48 bars. Only recently did I learn it is aka Miss Findley’s Delight.
It is the perfect tune for teaching the skip change step to beginning Scottish Country dancers.
